THE EQUITABLE PAVILION AND DEMOGRAPH

 

Equitable Black & White

The Equitable Pavilion is located on the Pool of Industry in the Industrial Area.

The Demograph, a 45-foot electronically controlled map of the United States is the heart of the Equitable exhibit. Pulsating colored lights record births and deaths in each state. An overhead counter with numerals six feet tall records the total population as these changes take place.

In addition, other exhibits will supply the visitor to the Equitable Pavilion with supplemental information about particular areas of our country as well as data on the total world population.

Come to the Fair ... and be sure to visit the Equitable Pavilion.
